"The problem with arguing from observation is that our observations are severely limited. Furthermore, we can't see the human heart as God can and determine who is righteous in His sight."
I forget this so often. I think that I "get" it, particularly when I see others going through struggles. My arrogance is unwarranted, particularly when it comes to interpreting the will of God!! May I never be as Eliphaz, assuming my own experiences and observations apply to everyone else!
"We are nearly always longing for an easy religion, easy to understand and easy to follow; a religion with no mystery, no insoluble problems, no snags; a religion that would allow us to escape from our miserable human condition; a religion in which contact with God spares us all strife, all uncertainty, all suffering and all doubt; in short, a religion without the cross." - Paul Tournier
